CITY HALL -- A new program would try to encourage health-care workers to treat Ebola patients in West Africa by providing financial incentives and employment protections.

The city and state will create the program modeled on benefits and rights given to military reservists. New York state would provide necessary reimbursements to the workers and their employers for quarantines needed upon their return.
